Whiteboard: MCDP 8
Original whiteboard breakdown of the Marine Corps’ doctrinal publication for information
The U.S. Marine Corps’ newest doctrinal publication — MCDP 8, Information — in a whiteboard nutshell.
The release of MCDP 8, Information, marks the establishment of the first capstone service doctrine to describe the purpose and mechanics of the Marine Corps’ seventh warfighting function, Information. The pub introduces a conceptual framework for understanding and employing the information warfighting function in addition to providing Marines with increased flexibility in their operational approaches across all phases of the competition continuum, in all warfighting domains.
"Information is key to gaining advantage in all domains, whether during kinetic actions on the battlefield or during day-to-day operations in competition. It's especially critical when our Marines need to sense and make sense of the operating environment in support of the joint force or to exploit opportunities and take action against our adversaries."
Gen. David H. Berger
38th Commandant of the Marine Corps
